Eduardo Rodriguez knew what he had to do on Wednesday night—go deep in the game to save the tattered bullpen. In the previous night's 17-inning loss, the relievers were stretched to the limit and could not be used extensively. So,
ERod delivered seven
pretty good (but not great) innings, while his offense provided 9 runs on 12 hits in
the eventual 9-4 win. The offense was keyed by:
Brock Holt (1-3, 3 RBIs);
Michael Chavis (2-5, 2 RBIs)—with
Mookie Betts,
J.D. Martinez,
Andrew Benintendi and
Xander Bogaerts each chipping in with an one RBI apiece. The win keeps the Red Sox 6.5 games behind
The Evil Ones in the AL East—and now just three games behind the second place Rays. Boston has Thursday off and begins a weekend series Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
